Van Wyk\u2019s primary focus was the needs of the family, but he also wanted to amplify their unique personalities and desired lifestyle. To do so, he crafted fluid, multi-use spaces and prioritised seamless boundaries so that the family could really embrace their style of living.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The location<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s possible to see the waves breaking in Umdloti from the home, and this was one of the main reasons the specific site within the estate was chosen. Van Wyk used a dramatic cantilever roof in his design to create a transparent axis that runs through the house \u2014 this connects the view from the back garden to the Umdloti waves. With this emphasis on views, the home\u2019s interiors really complement the clean architecture.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-27819 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/blog\/2023\/07\/31\/effortless-living\/house-gc01_118\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_118-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/blog\/2023\/07\/31\/effortless-living\/house-gc01_74\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_74-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>The inspiration<\/strong><br \/>\nThe design was inspired largely by the Umdloti coastline, and as such, the home is a contemporary interpretation of a beach house. The aesthetic is clean and minimalist, with a focus on functionality. When it comes to the overall layout, Van Wyk was intentional about directing attention towards the ocean and coastal vistas. He made the most of transparency to create a seamless connection between the home\u2019s interior and the surrounding outdoor space.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-27819 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/blog\/2023\/07\/31\/effortless-living\/house-gc01_38\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_38-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/blog\/2023\/07\/31\/effortless-living\/house-gc01_30\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_30-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>The lifestyle<\/strong><br \/>\nVan Wyk closely considered the way in which the family wanted to live. \u201cWe created an environment that embraced their routines, facilitated their daily activities, and ultimately brought them joy,&#8221; he explains. \u201cThe home\u2019s design is a reflection of their ideal living experience, ensuring each space encapsulates their unique personalities and preferences.\u201d<br \/>\nThe size of the site wasn\u2019t big enough to accommodate all the facilities that the family wanted, so Van Wyk used the below ground level to add in extra spaces for entertaining. An atrium was cut out of the back garden to make sure these spaces get plenty of natural light.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-27819 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/blog\/2023\/07\/31\/effortless-living\/house-gc01_7\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_7.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_7.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_7-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_7-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_7-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/house-GC01_7-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>The details<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile the setting and striking architecture are key features of the home, what really makes it special is the thoughtfulness with which it was designed. Van Wyk was meticulous with the details and made sure that the family could really enjoy their home. For example, the three children\u2019s bedrooms open into a lounge instead of a traditional passage. The lounge links to the back garden and a secret door that leads to an underground kids\u2019 cave via a slide.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27830\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27830\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27830 \" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/John_COA_still-e1690442927707-281x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/John_COA_still-e1690442927707-281x400.jpg 281w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/John_COA_still-e1690442927707-719x1024.jpg 719w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/John_COA_still-e1690442927707-768x1094.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/John_COA_still-e1690442927707-1078x1536.jpg 1078w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/John_COA_still-e1690442927707-696x992.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/John_COA_still-e1690442927707-1068x1522.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/John_COA_still-e1690442927707-295x420.jpg 295w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/John_COA_still-e1690442927707.jpg 1188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27830\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Architect, John van Wyk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Each detail is specifically designed around the family\u2019s life on the North Coast \u2014 and this is something that Van Wyk believes is very important.
